Starting over again

For starters, my name is Eric Yanez. Now that I got the introduction out of the way I thought perhaps I would be candid with my blog. I think in all honesty, failure teaches the cold reality’s one chooses to ignore. In my case, this is my second time going through my, Flatiron journey. A journey has many paths, usually there is a recommended path, in which usually carries the best turn rate of success with the best outcomes. Usually it would be ideal to follow that path however, life hurls obstacles that slowly throws you off course. Which is exactly what happen, work, family, loved ones, kept hurling problem after problem. For a while I believed my failures were caused by the outside influences I had hanging over my shoulder weighting me down. But the truth was I poorly managed my time, I prioritized meaningless things, I didn’t understand the grasp of committing. I wasn’t as committed of a student as I should have been. That harsh reality gave me a better clarity of my mistakes and areas that I needed to address to become a better student. I accepted I needed to learn to manage my time, put other things on hold and finally learn to be a better student.
